This is Why People Love Tivo

Dear Abby: My husband gets aggravated with romantic commercials on television -- the ones where men do sweet things for their wives, like putting jewelry on them while they sleep, or pulling out that special gift at the dinner table. He says the commercials try to make men feel guilty because they aren't like the ones portrayed.

I have tried telling him that men are, indeed, this way, but I couldn't think of any examples other than my brother and my father, who are very romantic.

There are more than two men who excel at romance, aren't there? Don't most men know how to sweep a woman off her feet?

Dear No Kiss Begins with Kay:Your man is aggravated because he can’t be like the men in commercials on TV.OK.Yes, he is so very correct to be aggravated at them, because there is no way on Jebus’s green Earth he could ever do nice things for you.It’s impossible to leave a flower by your plate at dinner, or to rub your feet, or to draw you a bath with candles.Those things are like Unicorns and Michael Jackson’s dignity – they don’t exist!They are impossible!We get mad at commercials when they show a sparkling clean floor – our husbands suddenly think that such a thing is attainable and we are in deep shit.

Your husband could learn to do those things for you, but he doesn’t want to.That’s the bottom line.He’d rather get mad at the TV.There are men who try and do nice, romantic things.Do you want one?
